The following maps identify land use diversity within 1/4-mile of each roadway analysis segment.
A GIS layer representing land use as polygons is obtained. Land uses are re-classified into simplified use categories. Roadway segments are divided into segments no longer than 500 ft. Each segment is buffered by 1/4-mile. The number of different land uses within 1/4-mile of each segment is calculated.
The following map displays the land use input used in this analysis.
